We met in the fall of 2019 when Molly crashed an engagement party in Joliet. Jim recreated the Peanut Butter Baby vine, and Molly thought he smelled great.

Molly hit Jim with the "what are we?", and Jim hit Molly with the "I love you" (to which she immediately reciprocated) in winter of 2019.

Molly moved to Logan Square (where Jim already lived) in Spring of 2020. She claimed it had nothing to do with him, but he thought otherwise.

Summer of 2020, Jim and Molly escaped the Chicago lockdown and went to visit Molly's parents in Florida for the first time.

In Fall of 2020, Jim and Molly went to LA to visit Molly's Maid of Honor, Emma. Emma gave Jim her stamp of approval when Molly passed out and she and Jim bonded over 'My Fair Brady'.

Winter of 20/21, Molly brought Ophelia (Ophie) into the family, much to Jim's reluctance. That reluctance turned into love VERY quickly.

Molly and Jim visited San Juan, Puerto Rico in the Spring of 2021. This began their mutual love for traveling with one another.

Jim threw Molly a wonderful birthday party for her golden 26th birthday in Summer of 2021.

In early Fall of 2021, Molly brought Jim to her favorite place in the world for the first time, Hawaii. Jim immediately understood why, and they were able to go again in 2023.

Winter of 2021, Molly, Jim, and Ophie went to Florida to celebrate the holidays.

Jim's super good at his job, so Molly gets to accompany him on his President's Club trips. This is from a trip to Cabo in Spring of 2022.

Jim's first time out of North America was in Summer of 2022. Here we are in Santorini celebrating the wedding of Molly's bridesmaid Maddy & her husband Elias.

In Fall of 2023, Jim FINALLY popped the question to Molly in Edinburgh, Scotland. Molly had an idea this was happening, since Jim had only planned 1 day of their 10 day trip.

By the winter of 2023, Jim had convinced Molly that Miller Lite is the superior choice of beer.

In Spring of 2024, Molly brought Jim down under for her friend Scarlett's wedding. Jim and Molly also visited Tokyo on this trip. Many schooners of beer and Lemon Sours were enjoyed!
